2009: A truck carrying 900 beehives crashed near Grindrod, BC, closing the
highway as police, helped by local beekeepers, worked to clear the road and
salvage the hives. Because the weather was cool (3.5°C), the bees were not
too agitated and did not stray far from the accident. Due to dwindling bee
populations across Canada, about 1 in every 10 hives hits the road for
national pollination tours.
